KurzbeschreibungThe course provides the necessary knowledge to develop models to understand, to support and to evaluate the solution of given planning problems.
The course is composed of a lecture part, providing the theoretical knowledge, and an applied part in which students develop their own models in order to evaluate a transport project/policy.
Lernziel- Appraise the role of theory and data in transport planning
- Differentiate and appraise different transport planning methods (causality, 4 stage and agent based modeling, cost-benefit analysis)
- Construct a transport model by statistical methods and algorithms commonly used in transport planning
- Propose a modeling framework to analyze transport planning challenges.
a decision-making supporting tool
InhaltThe course provides the necessary knowledge to develop models to understand travel behaviour and travel demand, and to support the solution of given planning problems. It also introduces cost-benefit analysis as a decision-making tool. Examples of such planning problems are the estimation of traffic volumes, prediction of estimated utilization of new public transport lines, and evaluation of effects (e.g. change in emissions of a city) triggered by building new infrastructure and changes to operational regulations. To cope with that, the problem is divided into sub-problems, which are solved using various statistical models and algorithms.

The course is composed of a lecture part, providing the theoretical knowledge, and an applied part in which students develop their own models in order to analyse travel behaviour, develop a traditional transport model and to evaluate a transport project/ policy by means of cost-benefit analysis. Regular lab session take place to guide and support students with the applied part of the course.

KurzbeschreibungHistory, impact and principles of the design and operation of
transport systems
LernzielIntroduction of the basic principles of the design and operation of
transport systems (road, rail, air) and of the essential pathways of their
impacts (investment, generalised costs, accessibilities, external effects), referring to relatively constant, and factors with substantial future uncertainty, in the past and expected evolution of transport systems.
